So late in the NFL season last year I told a couple of my coworkers for Christmas presents I was betting a few bucks on some long shot parlay (think like +300000 odds, essentially betting the outcome of each game) the payout was in the thousands. While far fetched to win, I thought it was like giving someone a scratch off lottery ticket. Probably better odds? And if it won I’d split it with them. 

We decided to run it back for the full season. Each of us betting a couple bucks on a long shot parlay, essentially trying to guess who wins each game. We varied our picks a little so we’re not all guessing the exact line. 

So we will see if we get lucky at any point this season. I think my exact bet was $2 on a +360916 15-leg parlay to win over 7 grand. Do I think any of them will hit? Probably not. But can’t be worse than buying a powerball ticket.

I like the thought

Illinois imposed a tax of .50 PER BET. I have not stopped completely, but drastically less. Almost out of principle. 

50 cents a bet?

It’s crazy. You legit cannot just bet all day. You have to choose a few bets and go bigger.

I used to bet small amounts on like 50 bets on a weekend. That’s $25 wasted that you don’t recoup if you win. It’s just…gone. No fucking way. 

I’m probably done betting after this deposit is washed. Hope it lasts football season.

That’s crazy. I’d be done. The numerous small gambles are the fun ones…..the more time spent on betting site the more you’ll play. They are wiping that away

Made a few last minute bets:

-Chiefs, Eagles, Texans, Ravens, Bills, Packers all make playoffs 

-Saints, Browns, Jets, Titans, Dolphins, Colts, Raiders to all miss playoffs 

- Patriots finish second in division, Steelers finish third in theirs 

-Burrow MVP

Cee Dee going big next game

Wonder how the total over betters feel. It closed at 58.5. 41 points in the first half, 3 in the second half.
